Salary Exempt (United States of America)
The Senior Manager, Enterprise Applications, will report to the Senior Director of Business Technology Solutions within the Information Services department. This role is a critical bridge between Altium Packaging's senior business leadership, including the CFO, Controller, CAO, CCO, and other functional executives, and the internal and external technical resources who implement, support, and optimize the company's enterprise application portfolio.
This is not a traditional IT management role. The right candidate combines the strategic instincts of a seasoned business analyst with the technical fluency to evaluate, select, and govern a broad portfolio of SaaS and cloud-based enterprise applications. You will own the application roadmap across corporate functional domains, partnering with business leaders to identify capability gaps, assess solutions, manage vendor relationships, and drive successful adoption. With the rapid emergence of AI-native tools, you will also serve as a forward-looking evaluator of whether AI-driven solutions represent a better path than traditional SaaS approaches and bring that perspective clearly and credibly to executive decision-makers.
This role is hybrid, requiring in-office presence at our Atlanta headquarters four days per week.
